Years ago, Zeke was attacked by Samuel on the ice-capped mountains.
At the most crucial moment, his teacher, Pietro, unleashed the Seven Stars of the Tiger and immediately knocked Samuel out.
In the past, Zeke was still a novice in martial arts and was not aware of the King Class. He only knew his teacher was powerful.
From the looks of it now, his teacher must have already achieved King Class then.
However, why did Black Dragon use his teacher’s technique?
Unless he was a disciple of Pietro as well?
Pietro was active in the North, and in that year, Black Dragon was a soldier there too.
Chris was confirmed as a disciple of Pietro, while Black Dragon was Chris’ trusted aide.
All of this information points to the fact that Black Dragon and possibly the rest of the Four Divinities were also Pietro’s disciples.
Well, I guess we all learnt under the same master.
If so, why did they try to assassinate me in the past?
Also, did Master Pietro die in their hands too?
Zeke was worried.
However, it did not take long for him to push his worry aside.
His Master was already a King Class warrior, so even if Chris and the Four Divinities formed an alliance to defeat Pietro, he would have defeated them easily.
Having said that, the Seven Stars of the Tiger seemed to suit him well.
After all, Zeke’s self-created King’s Combat Skill was not a mature technique.
On the other hand, the Seven Stars of the Tiger was passed down through many generations and deemed more developed.
Relative to its attacking force or explosive strength, his own King’s Combat Skill would pale in comparison. It could be clearly seen by how much power Black Dragon unleashed from using it alone.
If I master the Seven Stars of the Tiger, my attacks will definitely be more powerful.
Zeke etched the combat technique in his mind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the ground began to shake as though a small earthquake was erupting
Everyone looked down at the base of the mountain instinctively.
Their expressions changed when they saw what was below.
A platoon of heavily armed army hurriedly began to encircle them.
There were thousands of them, and they were the ones who caused the mini earthquake with their footsteps.
The soldiers charged up the mountain and surrounded them.
There was guilt on their faces as they saw the mess before them.
In unison, they knelt and bowed to Zeke. “We have arrived too late. Great Marshal, please let us atone for our mistakes.”
When the villagers heard “Great Marshal” being mentioned, it caused a buzz in the crowd.
This unassuming young man before them was actually the legendary Great Marshal?
Oh my gosh, the Great Marshal was not a human and was a god with extraordinary combat skills.
The villagers naturally got on their knees and bowed at him too.
Buck-tooth’s family and the Armed Forces were in shock and wished they were dead then.
Previously, they even thought of harming the Great Marshal.
That was no different from digging their own graves.
Wallace’s mother began to cry.
She trembled and sobbed, “Great Marshal, we are honored by your presence at my son’s funeral. My son is not a deserter but a loyal soldier!”
Bucktooth and his family guiltily lowered their heads in silence.
The old lady trembled and wanted to kneel down.
However, Zeke hurriedly ran forward to stop her. “Madam, there is no need for such courtesy. Your son tried to protect the country and died as a result. I will grant him a state funeral.”
He shot Sole Wolf a look.
Sole Wolf understood his message and hurriedly tried to retrieve Wallace’s memorial tablet and his pot of ashes from the ruins.
Then, Zeke wrapped the red national flag over the pot of ashes.
The old lady could not help but cry with joy, “Finally! Long live Eurasia! Son, we can now hold our head high.”
